David Irving v. Penguin Books Ltd &
Anr
Thank you for your letter of 2nd December, with
enclosures, which I will consider carefully.
Further to my letter of 29th November, I have now
prepared and enclose:-
- Text to be
included in Form N244;
- A minute of
order (in triplicate);
- The skeleton
argument (in triplicate);
- Copies of David's sixth
affidavit and the exhibit thereto (in triplicate).
[not posted]
I should be grateful to have a word with you about how
we proceed from here. In particular, I should be
interested to discuss whether we need wait for the
revised transcript to come back from Smith Bernal before
issuing the application, or whether (given the inevitable
delay) we can safely issue now, and await receipt of the
transcript in due course.
Perhaps you might also consider whether it would be
appropriate to issue the application notice with a time
estimate of thirty minutes in the first instance, on the
basis that the first hearing will be effective for
directions only. I suspect that Gray J. will wish to give
directions (especially as to the filing of evidence in
answer and evidence in reply) and to fix a date
convenient to all counsel.
Yours sincerely,
Adrian Davies
